Why CGR

You Need One Place
That's Yours

Work. Home. Repeat. Somewhere in that loop the version of yourself you actually respect got quiet. You've trained before — gyms, CrossFit, the routine. Fit enough, but not fired up. You don't need more motivation. You need an outlet, a real challenge, and people who'll hold you accountable.

You know the crawl home through Capalaba. The head running since 7am. Walking through the door and going quiet because there's just nothing left. That's not who you are — but it's what happens to good men carrying too much with nowhere to put it down. You need one hour where the only thing that exists is what's right in front of you on those mats.

Six years ago I was the bloke at 4:45am in the garage, deadlifts kicking me in the face, nobody in the room to push me the last 20%. A mate told me about BJJ. I made one of the best decisions of my life. That's why I built CGR Redlands. The bloke I was — fit enough but not fired up — is exactly who this Kickstart is built for.

Why I built CGR Redlands. The garage at 4am. The mate who told me about BJJ. What walking through that door actually does.

Common Questions

Straight Answers

The questions every bloke asks before he walks through the door.

No. We scale every drill to your skill level and what your body can actually do on day one. You will not be left behind.
You don't need to be fit. Not at all. As you spend time on the mats, your fitness comes. Then without even thinking, you start adjusting your diet. No one tells you to. You just do it.
No. Age has nothing to do with it. We work out what days suit you best and get you training 2–3 days a week, so your body has time to recover.
No. The guys actually love having new blokes in the gym. Two reasons: One, you're starting a journey that's the best thing you can do for yourself, and the team wants to support you and see you get better. Two, they get to test their skill instead of their strength — and that's where Jiu Jitsu really shows its power.
Don't stress. Some guys do — usually it's the nerves of starting something new. That's what we're here for. We want to see you become the best version of yourself. We'll reschedule and get you in.
No lock-in contracts. It's a week-to-week membership — or fortnightly if that suits your pay cycle.
Straight up — it's a combat sport, you're going to get bumps and bruises. But the way we train, we aim to eliminate the serious stuff so you can come back and train tomorrow or the next day. We need training partners. If you're injured, we've got no one to train with. That's why we look after you.
100%. We've got plenty of guys and girls who are FIFO or shift workers. FIFO members get a special membership built around their roster.
Gi is the jacket and pants — the material lets you grip your partner. No-Gi is rash guards and shorts or leggings — no material to grip, so you work different techniques. Both are part of training.
One hour. That's it. One hour to get clear and reset.
Two options. One — you love what we do and become a member. Two — you decide it's not for you and that's the end. No pressure either way.
Give it a really good crack first. One class isn't enough — there's too much going on for one session to tell you anything. We encourage you to finish the 14 days. If you still decide it's not for you, that's fine — we just want to know why so we can keep improving. And if you're on the fence before starting, take the taster session instead of the 14 days and see how you feel.
